Take Preformed Ponds Away When You Move?
Posted by Pond Keeper
I saw this question in the ponds forum and it made me realise I’d never seen this aspect as an advantage of preformed ponds over pond liners.
“I’m about to start planning a pond soon and I want it about 5 foot deep, 15 feet long and 5 feet wide. As it is my first time and my mum does not want me to dig the whole garden up, she wants me to use a preformed pond base. But I have searched and searched but I can not find any the size I want it……
I then seached on forums to see if anybody else has this problem but everyone uses pond liners.
Just wondering if anybody knew a place where i could find a preformed pond that size preferably rectangular.
Please don’t try to convince me to use liner as my family will not have it. Plus when i get older and move out I can take a preformed pond with me.
Hope somebody can help. Many thanks”
Can anybody help with the 5 foot deep preformed rectangular pond question?
Can a river be used to separate fish?

My current setup is two pre-formed pond liners. The larger one is about 200gal and has a waterfall spout at one end which pours into the smaller pond of about 75gal. The larger pond has the grown fish… comets, shubunkins, and two very large koi who are desperately pleading for a bigger space. The smaller pond is mostly stocked with rosey reds (the feeder minnows).The advantage of this setup is that, because of the waterfall, any goldfish which hatch out are swept over the falls and grow up in the lower pond. This gives them a fighting chance, so the big fish don’t eat
all of them. I generally end up with about 4 survivors by the next Spring, which then grow large enough to move up to the bigger pond.
Interesting use of two preformed pond liners here, with a river to help in the raising of small fish.
Preformed Pond Water Feature Video

This delightful preformed pond water feature was spotted at a specialist florist shop in Lille, North of France.
The water spout is gentle but as you can hear, still makes a restful watery noise while keeping the water within the preformed pond even if there is a breeze blowing. The unit comprises of a pond shell with a water spout, motor and reservoir all in one prepackaged whole and is displayed with a small aquatic plant for demonstration purposes. The water plant in the pond is a water hyacinth .
